My game plan this year

To get the most out of playing I think it’s good to have a plan of some sort, and this is it.

So far I’ve only bought one game (out of 40+ games) at release, and that was GT 5. I planned on buying New Vegas at release, in fact I waited for that moment for months, but before it was released in Europe the gamers in US started to complain about serious bugs so I never got it.

This year it looks like I’m getting three games upon release, and they are:

• Deus Ex: Human Revolution
• Battlefield 3
• Skyrim

Not entirely certain about Skyrim, and in any case it won’t be exactly at release (but not long after) because I need to have my minions testing it for bugs first. My earlier experiences with Bethesda demands that.

These purchases come with some responsibilities. I need to be done with some games first: Oblivion before Skyrim, and Bad Company 1 och 2 before Battlefield 3. Not entirely easy, because I haven’t even got Bad Company 2 yet, and I’m far from done with BC 1.

Deus Ex is probably the one I’m looking forward to the most.

Of course, if Thief 4 is released this year I’ll get it in a heartbeat, but if so we’d probably know by now. And if Twisted Metal is really awesome I might consider getting it.
